The mobile mechanical service pit fitted with an elevating work platform (EWP)

Based on the dimensions of a 12m/40ft ISO container, this sealed facility is installed in the ground for drive on application at terrain level. The EWP in the service pit is controlled by hand-held radio transmitter to easily adjust height of platform to suit vehicle undercarriage and technician height. EWP acts as a pit safety cover at terrain level when not in use.
